JE  claim  to  make  and  sell  better  Slate  Mantels  than 


> > any  other  manufactory  in  the  country,  and  at  lower 
prices.  Our  first  assertion  we  can  prove  to  the  satisfaction 
of  any  person  who  will  call  at  our  warerooms.  Our  second 
assertion  can  be  proved  by  a glance  at  our  Price-List  at 
the  back  of  this  book.  We  have  on  exhibition  our  Diploitias 
aud  Medals,  showing  that  we  were  awarded  the  highest 
premiums  by  the  Centennial  Exhibition  of  Philadelphia, 
Franklin  Institute,  and  other  Exhibitions,  separate  mention 
of  which  would  tire  the  reader. 

A call  at  our  warerooms,  or  an  order,  will  prove  the 
correctness  of  all  our  assertions. 

A card  with  full  explanation  of  how  to  set  a Mantel  is  placed  in 
every  Mantel  box.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  SETTING  MANTELS. 


I f 9*^  Mantel  by  measuring  the  shelf  or  top-strip.  Set  up  wall 

plates,  the  distance  of  this  length,  temporarily.  If  Mantel  has  a fire-board,  lav  the  lire- 
hoard  against  the  wall  so  that  it  can  he  brought  up  to  its  proper  position  at  the  iiroiier 
ime.  If  Mantel  is  circular  in  design,  take  fronts  and  put  them  up  so  that  they  touch  in 
the  centre;  show  wall  plates  equally.  Plumb  and  level  fronts,  and  mark  on  wall  where 
clamp  holes  should  he  cut— opposite  clamp  hole  in  the  Mantel.  Now  mark  on  floor 
around  fronts  and  wall  plates,  to  cut  floor  by.  Lay  fronts  and  wall  plates  aside  and  cut 
the  floor  from  one-quarter  inch  to  a greater  depth  on  one  side  or  the  other,  according  to 
he  amount  the  floor  may  be  out  of  level.  Cut  holes  in  the  chimnev  to  anchor  Mantel 
too;  If  a stud  partition,  prepare  a .solid  arrangement  in  wood  work  for  anchoring. 

1 lace  wall  plates  and  fronts  in  the  floor,  plumb  and  level,  and  attach  clamp  wires 
Now  wedge  on  centre  or  keystone;  wet  the  wall  alongside  the  inside  of  wall  plate  ami 
II here  front  joins  wall  plate,  ako,  holes  in  wall  and  around  centre.  This  will  tend  to  hold 
plaster  better  than  when  dry.  Prepare  a bowl  of  calcined  plaster  and  use  on  parts  alrcadv 
wet,  and  any  other  places  judged  advisable.  If  fire-board  is  to  be  used,  bring  it  up  to  a 
poll  joint  at  back  of  fronts  and  secure  it  by  sticks  from  wall  or  a wedge  brick— enoimh 
to  keep  It  nrm.  If  a grate  or  .stove  is  to  be  used,  the  space  between  Mantel  and  ivall 
must  be  filled  in  with  solid  brickwork  or  masonry,  arouml  and  above  the  stove  or  grate 
Dampen  the  wall  where  the  top-strip  will  lay,  also,  dampen  the  top-strii).  Place  a little 
plaster  on  the  top  of  fronts  and  on  back  of  top-strip,  set  the  shelf  on  and  lav  top-.strip 
of  t'heVpinte^*^™^^’  ^ require  filling,  do  it  with  putty  made  to  the  shade 

In  cleaning  Mantels  wash  with  sponge  and  water  and  drv  with  damp  chamois  skin 
1 . Mantel  is  not  what  is  generally  known  as  “circular,”'  but  is  “sfiuare,”  set  wall 
plates  as  before;  then  set  fronts  at  proper  distance  from  each  other  as  determined  by 
^ngth  of  frieze.  JSow  see  that  fronts  are  on  the  same  line,  top  and  bottom,  with  each  other 
x^roceed  as  belore.
